Autocad software or?

I design the silhouette of my plugs in Excel.

I created a grid that prints at 1/8" per cell, and use the "arc" drawing tool, which can create any curve desired. I print the grid, spray some adhesive on the back and stick it to Lexan. I cut the outline on the band saw and then sand it smooth.

Eric that was perfect, and exactly what i was looking for! The hardest part was getting the squares equal, i stopped at 1/4 inch, if you have the numbers for the 1/8 that would be great.

That's cool -- is that Excel?

I don't think I can help you with the grid -- the one I use is not square on the computer; my HP printer slightly horizontally compresses when it prints, so I actually have to draw the lure shapes in Excel slightly taller than they print...Sounds more complicated than it is.
